Wayward Pines Photos: Get to Know the Denizens of Fox's Eerie New Mystery

On Thursday, May 14 at 9/8, Fox will invite you to Wayward Pines, a new thriller that counts among its executive producers The Sixth Sense‘s M. Night Shyamalan (who also directed the pilot) and stars film vet Matt Dillon.

Most simply (and I do mean “most simply”) said, the 10-episode series stars Dillon as Ethan Burke, a Secret Service agent who is searching for two missing colleagues when he gets into a life-altering car crash. Afterward, Ethan wakes up in Wayward Pines, a highly peculiar hamlet whose colorful residents aren’t in any particular rush to help him get home.
